Loki (G)
A fairly useful performer for Henk Grewe when trained in Germany last year. Runner-up in minor events on final 3 starts before being sold for €42,000. May have a lenient opening mark though the betting probably the best guide on British de…

Lord (G)
4-time winner over hurdles last year, including a listed juvenile event at Aintree in December Third of 5 in maiden at Catterick (1½m, good to firm, 17/2) 26 days ago. More required on handicap debut.

Swinging London (G)
[PT]
9/4, didn't need to improve to win 5-runner handicap at Southwell (1¾m) 25 days ago. Had little in hand at the line and may find it tougher back on turf despite being raised just 2 Ib (yet to win away from the all-weather).

Haarar (G)
A fair performer when last seen on the Flat back in 2024. Twice a winner over hurdles during the 2025/26 jumps season. Bled when fourth of 6 in handicap hurdle (8/1) at Newcastle (2½m, good) in March.

Ashdown Forest (G)
[P]
13/2 and in first-time blinkers on Flat, raced freely in slowly-run race when fourth of 5 in handicap at Thirsk (1¾m, good) 16 days ago. Refitted with cheekpieces and can bounce back.

As Fast As Wind (M)
Has been in good heart since joining this yard, including over hurdles, and resumed winning ways in 9-runner handicap at Musselburgh (4/7) 19 days ago. Raised just 3 Ib and looks sure to give another good account.

Charlie Darling (G)
In top form for this yard winning his last 2 starts over 2m at Southwell. Only up a further 2 Ib and has to be taken seriously in hat-trick bid.

Billy No Mates (G)
Nineteen runs since last win in 2023. 17/2, good third of 6 in handicap at Redcar (1¾m, good to firm) 11 days ago. Remains opposable on balance.

Cascade Hall (G)
FAV
[H]
Very much had the run of the race when getting off the mark in 4-runner handicap (3/1) at Ayr (15f, good to firm) 13 days ago, unchallenged. That was a weak race and he's passed over in a tougher event.
